tmk1965 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I've just purchased a 2008 AWD Limited - very happy so far. A question about the auto headlamps . . . Is there a way to always have the headlamp on even during the day in the auto headlamp mode? I'd like to have them on all the time for safety reasons. Thanks in advance for any guidance on this.

Tom DRL's (daytine running lamps) are set by the lamp control module - not the auto headlamp switch. Your dealership can reprogram the lamp control module for DRL. Search the threads and you will find several different experiences. Most dealerships will charge you an hour of labor time to reprogram the computer. If you had made the reprogramming part of the purchase agreement, it would have been cheaper or free. Canadian vehicles are already programmed for DRL's.

ILVMYGT Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I had the same thought. I placed a piece of electrical tape over the sensor in the middle of the dash. It works just fine. Lights come on when I start the car. :yup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights come on when I start the car. :yup: Why not just leave the switch in the ON position? The Edge has a battery saver that will turn them off after a few minutes, then they turn back on when you start the car. This way you don't have to worry about the interior lights dimming all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
